Facebook has been taking their product to market for the last 8 years. What would you have them do? Change their product for the sake of it when it's still growing -- worldwide?
Innovation in tech is still laudable innovation. Cassandra. Scribe. Thrift. React. Tech that is widely used.
I don't think FB is as important to our industry as some other companies, but no, they're not dumb.
- bane 13y agoI'm not challenging FB to innovate. It's not in their DNA. FB is FB. It is what it is. And that's why this acquisition is bad. There are no paths that FB will take with this tech that doesn't drive it right down the non-innovative path they're already on and committed to.
- encoderer 13y agoThat's a little too hand-wavy for my taste. Like you used your jedi knight intellectual superiority to declare that FB doesn't get it and never will and you do and can clearly point it out. Truth is, I don't know exactly what FB will do with this tech. But it seems silly to think it will only be within some narrow concept of their existing social network roadmap. I would bet on Facebook letting them stay separate and do their own thing, combining sales and marketing channels where opportunities exist. But only time will tell.
